was. that. whistle blower on the run edward snowden could be heading to latin america with the leaders of three countries they ready to grant him political asylum. that's as a whistleblower as most recent revelations suggest european nations are fully cooperating with the n.s.a. surveillance program which is in mount contrast to their public anger at the extent of you was snooping. egypt is involved in deadly clashes as efforts to form an interim government have so far ended in failure leaving many fearing the conflict could be to civil war. and the gods at guantanamo bay prison are turning to harsh new tactics to break the mass hunger strike all the inmates of which has now entered its sixth month.

wherever you're watching from around the world over this is r.t. with me to bomb once a full the week's top stories. venezuela says it's still waiting to hear if edward snowden will take up its asylum offer monday deadline said by caracas approaches it's one of the three latin american countries alongside bolivia and nicaragua offering to help the man who exposes the u.s. government's global surveillance webb leaders of the three nations say their decision to help the homeland a c. contractors prompted by washington's heavy handed manhunt argues that is and always has more i think snowden stronger spices up with a latin american twist a glimmer of hope after living in limbo for weeks then as well nicaragua and bolivia offered the n.s.a. leaker asylum after a european countries rejected his official request for most of the week if snowden

himself didn't know where his future would be taking him then we certainly didn't and this really it was thought ecuador might be a possibility but president gray is sentiment toward snowden shifted suddenly saying their help with initial transport documents was a mistake then as well as more durable made his country stands clear this weekend saying snowden can come and live in the land of chavez quote away from the persecution of american imperialism but only after bolivia's ever morale us was detained and denied airspace over europe for some fourteen hours while his presidential plane was searched for snowden in an exclusive interview with our team around us reacted to what bolivia called a kidnapping is huge and they think they can humiliate and subdue us by blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making us change

our policies they're wrong we'll make our own decisions and they can't pressure us into doing what they want. latin america united with their condemnation social media rocketed with claims the u.s. was behind the move and europe a puppet washington remain silent they have made a serious mistake because this is just one more example of the way things are going to be not only throughout latin america but throughout the world already where you have powerful hegemonic totally disrespectful towards the national sovereignty of all countries even their allies snowden's leaks help reveal how the u.s. was cold war style tapping their closest e.u. partners even when you expose the truth even when you give it this truth to the people who are being spied on they won't step up and support truth so yeah it is a bit frustrating to see these european nations just kind of ignore this outright

spying that's out there while searching for snowden at all cost and he's now r.t. moscow the most recent revelation to emerge from a snowden's disclosures suggest even states enjoy a closer relationship with the n.s.a. than the many would like to admit in an interview published in the spear goal of the whistleblower alleges that the n.s.a. is in the bed with germany and most other western states regarding secret surveillance operations he also goes on to say that the partnership is structured to protect top level probably titian's from any back less assured word of the collusion between a spy agencies ever get out of the revelations or run contrary to brilliance a show of surprise at the scale of you with electronic snooping with chancellor angela merkel stating that i.q. thing the us of using cold war tactics now earlier i talked to journalism on a well off and writer who told me this is nothing but hard edged because germany's politicians and america's. the german politicians want to do something it's very

easy for them just expel the u.s. american military bases they will not because they believe in this partnership or to smoke a partnership because we are never talking about a partnership we are talking about your money you. want to be a control a partnership or something as a partnership is when countries make an agreement with each other but what we see here is that the us giving for control and for control of those countries. i am not sure if this will really bring mistrust with. you because these people are used to. really sure if they are really upset about this because they know what . the question is how long will the population be so were taller and. those problems this is the interesting question if you're looking for the latest updates on the edward snowden almost a key development over the parts a few days we've got it all for you on our website at r.t.

dot com a check out the timeline complete with fresh updates opinions and plenty more. egypt was rocked this week after the army moved in then remove the president from power triggering a fresh wave of unrest now opponents and supporters of mohamed morsy have been a staging rival rallies in the capital cairo right now we're seeing those live pictures up from a square where thousands are still descend to the flooding the streets of sparking fears of more clashes after the deadly protests are seen in the week and as our paula severe reports from the egyptian capital both sides i gearing up for the confrontation. egypt's back in the headlines but for all the wrong reasons a week of street battles mass crowds a divided country on the brink of civil war this is the street where the worst fire . islands in cairo happened even thirty five people killed more than

a thousand injured the mood is extremely tense friends family and supporters shouting crying a lot of emotion and the country's bracing itself for more u.s. issued military combat boots stand guard the newly installed all means not taking any chances if no clear government changes where the status quo in egypt is on the brink of disaster comes running out for egypt tonight's internet the real. real change is on the one side the millions who rallied for the ouster of the muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi they got what they wanted went on wednesday the army took over across the bridge those who want him reinstated both sides are talking war i want to say to the american statesman to the wall and to the whole wall and to the west to europe be careful if you join that out of me there gyptian out of me or the head of the egyptian army to destroy the islamist that means that

your turn in this country to up plays that will produce a lot of islamists i there's a strong feeling of deja vu after just a year in office the muslim brotherhood leaders have joined the predecessor imprisoned president hosni mubarak both now sit in the same jail. america's betting on a losing horse by selling out to the islamists where is the america that calls for freedom why have they allowed this to happen does freedom mean shutting down islamic t.v. channels does it mean shutting down news papers minima hair watches events unfold from his balcony this cup question lives in an apartment overlooking tahrir square he says it's now each option against egypt this is something that completes the first evolution. official position was incomplete but i have been. the military take in control of the country for more than a year and then. usually in a democracy in a very bad way by giving. the country

to the muslim brotherhood which. the worst people to be told the country this is a matter of the and i would like you to join me on a journey through time travel back in time travel to unravel discoveries discover evolution that made egypt and the element that made egypt a revolution. because one of the few taking advantage of the constant turmoil he offers foreign tourists of the r.p. revolutionary tour it includes a quick look at a few although mostly through the car's window and now i'm so as spoken thanks to that evolution i used to stammer and stutter and flounder now you see my speech flows like a mighty stream momus the british people but most tourists are staying away while the country plummets unemployment's up and the egyptian pound is fast losing its already weakened value as supporters on both sides brace for more confrontations many fear the situation will only go from bad to worse policy r.t.

. and while the situation in egypt remains polarized the military has come together with politicians in an effort to form an interim government middle east analyst nebular on dani believes that the army in egypt is want to involved in the politics of the country i don't believe that that's how you bring about democracy and in fact what the army is is showing at the moment is that it's reasserting its position as a political king maker indeed choosing a compliant figures who can you know who they could put in power so as to preserve their own interests and that's why we're seeing how they are delivering now already made interim government essentially manufacturing democracy but of course democracy is about the will of the people and the people have spoken last year and that's precisely why the muslim brotherhood supporters are calling for the president to be reinstated into the legitimacy of the people to be restricted but in. has also to be highlighted that the major failure of the army here is to protect civilian lives

that the number one deity instead of interfering in political affairs and indeed one has to highlight the fact that they have a major stake in the economy something that they are unlikely to give up anytime soon. howard says kyra correspondent bill true caught up with a former head of the arab league who is now one of the top opposition figures in egypt told her why he believes that the army kicking the president out of office is well necessarily a coup the security forces the armed forces are trying to maintain law and order in the streets going forward in a solid way that would allow the country to be. to get back on track but moments after the ouster of mohamed morsy we had reports of hundreds of missing budget officials who were arrested the president himself was put under house arrest with no communication t.v. networks were shut down people are calling this a military coup how can you defend that everybody saw millions of people pouring

into the streets so it was not a coup it was a popular uprising if not a revolution that is not enough to have the ballot box approving you and then you just sit and enjoy your life and let the people go down the drain i don't know how some people in. or or from certain way of thinking believe that democracy is just the box of the ever got the majority over there has the right to do or not to do anything how can you include the mizzen brotherhood and its political parties like the freedom and justice party in the political roadmap of egypt if their leaders of being arrested egypt is and in. and unprecedented exceptional circumstances some precautionary measures would be taken but i hope at the end it is fed to us and the rule of law that would pay for it coming up later this hour the red bull cyber currency big coin attracts the some

six the prisoners that are now refusing forty five are being subjected to force feeding the u.s. government has defended the practice in the face of criticism from human rights groups are his washington correspondent granted you can take up the story. the u. one cost to the u.s. to stop force feeding guantanamo hunger strikers the practice is against international law and is seen by many as a form of torture and here is one thing first the guards strap the detainee down to a chair like this one to put a mask over his face so that the detainee can't move bite or spit then the nurse snakes the feeding tube into nasal cavity the feeding tube which is roughly the size of a pen and ink cartridge or this or this is not an actual feeding tube but it gives you an idea here and this area is very rich in nerve endings and patients report extreme pain during the procedure and the nurse pushes the troop further down the throat creating a tightness that makes breathing difficult at that point patients typically feel

pressure on their chest along some say it feels like they were drowning then the staff tapes the troops to the detainees know so that they can buy it or swallow it and then two cans of nutritional substances are being funneled through the tube now we rode to guantanamo and asked whether they use an anesthetic for this seemingly painful procedure here's the response typically not however it is available if the detainees request that most detainees prefer to use standard always oral to lubricate due to your west of trying to make it sound like it's not as bad but here is how one of the detainees a yemeni man. somewhere in a jailhouse on the bell the squires what for speeding actually feels like i will never forget the first time they passed a feeding tube up my nose i can't describe how painful it is to be force fed this way as it was thrust it made me feel like throwing up i wanted to vomit but i

couldn't there was getting in my chest throat and stomach i had never experienced such pain before i would not wish this cruel punishment upon anyone we also asked the kuantan official how many detainees resist the procedure and how many give their consent to it and he went back saying the majority of the detainees report compliantly and do not resist detainees are given a choice to eat a hot meal drink the liquid new trend or be enthralled fed blue detainee see the choice differently take a listen to. when they come to force me into the chair if i refuse to be tied up they call the team so i have no choice either i can exercise my right to protest my detention and be beaten up or i can submit to painful force feeding for most people these detainees are out of sight out of mind as sudden as it is they see physical suffering as the only way to draw the world's attention to their plight we can't hear their voices but here's what they write i'm doing this because i want to know my destiny i cannot abide not knowing anymore i just hope that because of the pain

we are suffering the eyes of the world will once again look to guantanamo before it is too indefinite detention is the worst form of torture respect us or kill us it's your choice the u.s. must take off its mask and kill us the obama administration doesn't want inmates to die but neither is it in a rush to give the detainees their lives back in washington i'm going to check on when i went on i'm a prisoner was i'm back says that every detainee at the facility is being tortured in one way or another. i say that everybody who had been held in atlanta has been tortured or tortured or abused in one way i mean when i was first taken into custody it was the most torturous process i think that any person could ever imagine meant being stripped naked it meant being invasively by your body beings cavity searched as they call it being an eagle a pair shaved of being punched and kicked and spat upon at one occasion it was in

the background pacific where i went to the bottom of i was subject to the sounds of a woman screaming i was little it was my wife being tortured so everybody in a sense of being tortured in the worst sort of course is a psychological sort in which she was in solitary confinement and able to know what it is that you've done for which you're paying the ultimate price which is your freedom if the hunger strikes continue in the way that they are then the force feeding is not the solution the solution is to give them justice and that's the reason why they're doing it they're not doing it because of all the abuses those are peripheral they're doing it because being health of a twelve years they're almost without charge or trial and any mua legal normative system. the world. i. mean let's not take a look at what all in one team have picked up today turns out to be too hard for some russian train tracks now rails with very few want to buy the intense summer

medical emergencies. after the break on t.v. looks at what really happened after the news cameras left the gulf states where the worst oil spill in history took place that's in parts three of the big leagues. remember how all of a sudden the avent guard protest group became world famous and then were completely forgotten by the next month yeah i'm talking about the firmest punk rock group pussy riot that performed a vulgar anti prayer and one of moscow's most famous orthodox cathedrals one possible reason for their explosive popularity in the media's eyes was revealed recently by a german actress on a book the actress claims a german t.v. channels e.d.f. paid three large undisclosed amount of money to come out on behalf of the activist

band shell said on a t.v. discussion that just even remember what she said except for wishing them well with dealing with their incarceration. it would be very odd for an actress to just make up a bribery scandal especially when she was complicit but it makes you wonder just how many other people c.d.f. may have been given all extra motivation to cry travesty overall i think the most important of what her public revelation is that she said that you know what it's a bit dumb when actress talk about politics and i couldn't agree with her more a fascist my opinion. the after the b.p. spill doctor on change who we see and we're in bury teria which is forty miles from the gulf and about one hundred fifty miles from the wellhead the oil and dispersants have come into here yesterday the wind blew really hard these tables

got this cloudy gritty glaze on with it that's just what's on the table before we even start the interview. was b.p. about to repeat the same strategy that exxon used with the valve these oil spill this pack of confidential documents were uncovered as part of the toxic tort lawsuits that followed with some of the workers who realized that their sicknesses lingered lingered lingered these documents are very incriminating and they show that thousands of workers are actually did in fact it's sick from exposure to a number of chemicals including to be toxic. axons chief medical advisor dr kind of cool it's a memo to x. on and at the very end here you see the intent we do not need a health hazard evaluation and should try and avoid it if possible. the health

hazard evaluation is osha and nyasha coming in and saying sorry there's too many sick people here and you spiller are now labile for doing. long term medical surveillance how exxon avoided it was by misrepresenting the information as cold simple. facts on managed to successfully hide these documents from the media from the people from the sick workers from the court from the federal health care officials and b.p. is following pretty closely everything that. we were actually flying over the disaster site on sunday april twenty fifth and what we saw when you're out there were two airplanes were flying over and already carpet bombing this bill with this person i started to notice that the planes and helicopters were flying over they were dropping the stuff the spray they were really secretive about where those planes were coming from and when they were going

out they didn't really want shoes taken of these planes coming down because it looked like spraying in vietnam it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there carex it is toxic it's toxic to people it's toxic to the environment what it does is it breaks apart the oil into something called a myself a little oil bubble that's wrapped in the solving the in the hydrophilic you know lipophilic into them and they form little packages around there or else which says spins the oil in the water column they're called myself these my cells go around and they absorb on to biological tissue they're absorbing on to sand grains they're absorbing onto raindrop particles they're absorbing up into the clouds and they're raining down as stinging rain on people who then get rashes just like this

person's urge to sign to go through limp it's in the oriel they go through the lip in the sound they break down the sound wall could just lifted membrane. take that whale into the sound into their organs or rattling their delivery system where they go around lying around it south is toxic to every organ system in the body and the mixture dispersed in an oil is much more toxic then either oil alone or dispersant one fisherman here have been exposed to this mixture they have literally got ulcerated skin it's not hard to find these people we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have it reported and by default u.s. government can't afford to have it reported the ones who can afford to move have moved and the ones that can't are just begging for help. this is hugh councilman

he has worked for the p.a. for four decades is the lead researcher on toxics blew the whistle on high levels of toxics at the now famous love canal he also blew the whistle on the need to protect nine eleven cleanup workers from exposure to toxic dust and now he's trying to blow the whistle on the toxic dispersants used by b.p. dispersions or. and they're used to other mines to do. so that it's not as visible to the public and in other words they're used for a couple of oil alone in a body of water will rise to the surface there it's collectable it's containable but instead of actually containing it there dispersant was used of the eighteen dispersants on the e.p.a.'s authorized list twelve are more effective on the wheezy

and a sweet crude than correct that b.p. chose to use the only dispersant so to. and that it's banned its own country of england the pale ever has been reluctant to stop using core which we're told has been banned in great britain for the last ten years why it's toxic to human beings on may fifteenth two thousand and ten the e.p.a. approved b.p. to use carex it under the surface of the water b.p. and its contractors started injecting thousands of gallons of corrected a day into the cult when they decided to do the subsurface injection that you serve a robot or to shoot the dispersants down at the blowout site five thousand feet below the surface of the gulf that had never been for. four days later the e.p.a. issued an order giving b.p. twenty four hours to find a less toxic dispersant b.p.

chief operating officer doug suttles responded by saying that b.p. would continue to use carex it. was a set up to protect the. and and sort of do a dance for a few days b.p. use a tremendous amount of this persons in the e.p.a. says you got to cut it back seventy five percent. and so the people back seventy five percent but they increased it so much they kept using the same. in january of two thousand and nine president obama appointed lisa jackson to head the e.p.a. jackson a louisiana native hold to a graduate degree in chemical engineering from princeton and is very familiar with the a facts of chemicals because there are scientific unknowns we had to make the decisions that are a series of trade us and basically in common language it was either nothing or in

moderation. b.p. . penalties. are tied to how much oil. has been released who are the head of the t.s.a. so if you say i would either ban or limit the use of dispersants could you have the power to act unilaterally i believe i did chairman but i do want my lawyers to get you a response i know going in but but that's a question you needed to know from day one ms jackson forget about cleanup forget about a natural resource to average just for releasing the oil just for releasing oil. tens of billions of dollars a foreign well if you can see. how much oil is released. those penalties down from twenty five billion to maybe one or two billion billion dollars here a billion dollars are you talking real moving. the company that makes correct it

now coke is a joint venture with exxon mobil puts received over twenty four million dollars in u.s. government contracts over the past decade. now co-chairs directors with b.p. and exxon mobil. according to its own website now co has some pretty influential fans so from here to here this is the scope the distance about five hundred miles. west for toy problems central nervous system problems the headaches and dizziness and nausea and the skin problems that intense rashes there are hundreds of thousands of people who are dosed with high amounts of toxic material the or risk of having severe health effects often we're told don't worry honey we'll take care of you and it won't hurt we'll wait and find out that a very good product what we thought was

a good product turns out to have vial consequences i don't want dispersants to be the agent orange. this will still. be called a cliff and chemical dispersant is the best option to come in at night to monopod it with a spray and the birds are coming round. to some of. the. little houses you're saying here today the beaches had no suspicion there was none of them similar to the stones that always had some corruption but i never thought

it was that this has anyone been thinking inside because of this incident mood solution maybe just think if they throw enough money to good old american looks like gays successful on the locals in a clumsy american people that you can get a little i think this is a toxic waste. system. after even more scrutiny surrounding b.p.'s continued use of correct said b.p. quietly announced in july they had stopped spraying dispersant the oil was gone and so were the dead animals. to verify this we interviewed keith seal an b.p.'s incident commander but b.p. denied permission to use the center of the zero. three months later in september he snuck onto beaches where b.p. was working to find the truth or selves.

at night the oil was clearly visible beaches or some young fish as you can see there climbed up into a clump of well dead wildlife was also prevalent now risking ourselves by turning these only the lights on. to tell that something's america they should be put respirators on the movie station is just right across this cut. despite the piece claims they had stopped spraying our cameras caught the still transporting and spraying dispersants. already become cashier played managed to shred it right now.

can't think of a place like louisiana as the state it is an oil it is only controlled by the oil industry. i ran one of the regulatory agencies and louisiana's environmental quality agency the oil and gas industry lobbyists run our halls every day i mean they're talking to people in the. agency that might have some say over how they would regulate oil in this same time they're making campaign contributions in every election that comes along when the time comes for a vote i've seen oil and gas industry for example kill environmental bills just by putting the. argue. their simple cultural set up the motor city brads of islam ultimately lead to that but i can say that there's

a come to push too because i don't think that to this nominee is a monopoly over the country. but if china were a military superpower on par with the united states what kind of world would be living with china put in to check washington's appetite for unilateral military action and manipulation of the global economy or would we witness another cold war where both beijing and washington maintained a chilly the relatively peaceful world. what defines a country's success. faceless figures of economic growth. for a factual standard of living.

it's the same corruption that effects the louisiana happens on a larger scale in washington. comes from texas. louisiana the political structure is the economic structure of those states or so the oil is where the number would be issues. one thing that is unique about louisiana's

where tiny state politically we have single digits in terms of electoral votes but we have an incredible influence on on the national political scene the senate is the most now apportioned body in the world you have two senators from each state you have two senators from louisiana and two senators from california the california if it was a nation would be the seventh largest nation in the world and louisiana is not close to that. the senate say only legislative assembly in the world that has a super majority to get things done they need sixty votes to get things done so it only takes a few senators to stop the initiative of the house of representatives. the senate has the power to veto any bill created in the house up to one hundred eleven energy related bills proposed in the last decade every bill that contain provisions for alternative energy was blocked. the only bills that became law with the five that

subsidized fossil fuels and nuclear. another factor that contributes to the lack of regulation by congress is the proverbial revolving door. on a congressional delegation is known as the all delegations are senators when every tarak go to work as a lobbyist for walling gas there's a two year. cooling off period before you could become a lobbyist out of the senate to her lot resigned from the senate one month before the end of the session so he didn't have to wait two years he only had to wait one year and then he had a party with john breaux invited all kinds of people to celebrate when the one year was over and now the bro a lot of lobbying firm is very successful it with lots of energy clients lots of oil giants old clients gas clients and them a lot of power. says.
